Denmark’s CS pride Astralis earnings crossed over $2mn in 2018 through the prize pools. Astralis, who were recent winners at IEM Chicago 2018, added another $100,000 to their banks alongside a golden trophy.
Owned by RFRSH Entertainment, Astralis is powered by peripheral company Turtle Beach, stylish Jack & Jones, and energy drink company NOCCO. They started their journey in 2016. The exit of Team SoLoMid from the CS:GO forte, forced the lineup to play with “QuestionMark” for a while before they acquired the rights of Astralis from the Finnish organization.
One of the most interesting facts about Astralis still remains the fact that the players themselves own the organization.
In 2016, CS veteran Danny “zonic” Sørensen coached Team Question Mark, which eventually turned to Astralis. The lineup in 2017 entered into a contract with German car marker, Audi. Astralis’ CSGO lineup significantly turned robust after they signed gla1ve.
Today as we compute, Astralis have earned over $4,259,102 since their inception.
